Sunwave 54 Solar Catamaran

Skeptics continue to question whether solar-powered sailing is really viable, but after a successful, award-winning concept turned catamaran in 2009, the answer is, "yes". The Sunwave 54 solar catamaran is more than a concept but since the idea of a completely solar-powered auxiliary propulsion and battery power for living day-to-day aboard sailboat is still quite new, we include it in our concepts as food for thought for your next catamaran purchase. 

Not convinced? Read more to see a video in which the Sunwave 54's electric propulsion takes on high waves and hard winds with a lowered flybridge to reduce wind drag and increase solar absorption. We've also got lots of interior and exterior pictures of this unique catamaran concept.

We think you will be surprised at just how powerful, functional, and practical this solar sailboat is.
